Disney Friends Layout

Today I am a Guest Designer for Crazy About Cricut and it is Mickey and Friends Monday. I have created a two page layout using the Mickey and Friends and Mickey Font cartridges.

I recently made this layout to scrapbook some pictures from our trip to Disneyland last year.

Each of the characters are cut from the Mickey and Friends cartridge at 4.0 inches. When cutting out Disney characters, it is best not to cut them any smaller than about 4.0 inches.

There are many small pieces to each of the characters. I leave the pieces on my mat as I put each character together. This way I don't lose any pieces.

If you're new to using your Cricut, it is also helpful to use the cartridge handbook so you can see what pieces need to be cut out and in which color.

The title for this layout is cut from the Mickey Font cartridge at 2.0 inches. Instead of using the shadow feature for this font I just cut the title out twice in different colors and offset the layers.

The Mickey ears on top of each of the photo mats was also cut from the Mickey Font cartridge at 2.0 inches. The Mickey ticket is also cut from the Mickey Font cartridge at 3.0 inches.

I also used a white gel pen to add extra detail to some of the die cuts.

Looks great! I'm always amazed to see anyones work with these detailed Disney cuts! They are a labor of love for sure! The stitching is the perfect touch! Thanks for playing along with us at My Craft Spot this week!Amber

Amazing layout! Those Disney cuts are often hard to work with. You did great. I didn't see a link back to our challenge on your post, but thank you for joining us at Scrapalicious USA blog! :) ~Shelley
